Wow...I am surprised already!
I had a feeling the picks were going to be all over the map for this year, but I thought for sure Saving Private Ryan would be a shoo-in for the #1 spot. Make no mistake, Shakespeare was an incredible film, and had it come out another year...
 
Saving Private Ryan
A Simple Plan
The Negotiator
Pi
The Thin Red Line
The X-Files (gotta be a fan of the show)
The Big Lebowski

Yeah, I have no problem at all with Saving Private Ryan winning the Oscar, but I just enjoyed Shakespeare in Love just a little bit more. But I thought the direction for SPR was more demanding. They were both great in my book. :thumbsup:

I was waiting to get flak for The Negotiator and The Red Violin. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
